Do Universities still adhere to the Wednesday afternoon agreement whereby there are no lectures, seminars or tutorials in that time thus freeing students for participation in team sports?

In general, yes that does still happen. Most universities take part in BUCS (British University & College Sport) leagues and cup which for the majority take place on Wednesdays.

Some university departments will try and sneak lab sessions in which makes things a bit tricky for students but on the whole the vast majority will play fixtures on Wednesdays and train the rest of the week.

The Stadium and indeed our onfield performance need improving to sneak up, or stop us from sliding down the ISG rankings.
As you can be assured that every other club will be scrambling to improve on what they can improve on..
We have scraped "The" 14th spot that would see you in SL should they go to 14 teams, but its by no means secured for when the grading actually counts next year,
I would be seriously looking at a top 4 finish in 2024 if I was us.
How you bring in a multi million pound stadium deal when you nor the council has a pot to pi$$ in is quite another conundrum. which Nige and Hirsty will need to make happen pretty damn sharpish.

Bradford University playing at Odsal Stadium today.

After reading this I'm wondering who now has the lease? https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/odsal-st ... ure-84540/

That's all very non-commital isn't it? Depends on the sale then next paragraph they're using 'new owner' like it's a done deal?

V poorly written article.

Why does anyone ever give any credence to things posted on SARL? It should be prefixed by YCB - the first four letters of the whole being an acronym of a John McEnroe "catchphrase."

T&A reported that Knight Frank (the company handling the sale of the lease) had had a number of expressions of interest but nobody had got as far as a due diligence test.

So the lease is still held by the RFL.

'Prominent Car Dealership Premises' - even the sales agents are woefully amateur when the RFLs involved

That stock car track looks even worse from the air. The stuff's everywhere - it looks terrible on the terracing and i didn't realise it was all over the car park behind the coral stand.

What an eyesore

Looking at the mess Salford are in at the moment, we'd be absolutely mad to go to Valley Parade. Nice stadium and we'd prob get enough points to get into SL. But long term, the rent could cripple us. Rather just stay at Odsal even if that means Championship rugby

The devil is in the detail of the contract wherever the club plays. I'd be quite happy to go to VP provided the contract is fair and watertight.
